Tonight [OnStar's](http://www.engadget.com/tag/OnStar) pulled back the curtain just a tad, revealing it'll soon allow pre-approved third parties to build "apps" atop its platform. While the closed API won't launch until later, at [CES](http://www.engadget.com/tag/CES) the telematics service announced its first partner: RelayRides -- a peer-to-peer car sharing service that enables OnStar owners to rent their cars. Access to the API allows those renting using RelayRides to remotely unlock reserved cars, all from their smartphone. It'll be one of many to go live in 2012, so devs with a knack for the next *big thing* ought to peep the PR after the break.**Gallery: [RelayRides](http://www.engadget.com/photos/relayrides/)**
